Jacoba Zuleima's story

Jacoba attended school through ninth grade. She is in a relationship. Her partner is a farmer. Her daughters are in school.

Jacoba sells vegetables and fruits. She learned [this work] from her friends. She travels four minutes from her house to her business, and her work schedule is from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. In addition, she has experience selling tamarinds by the pound. She previously did domestic work.

Jacoba needs the loan to buy more fruits and vegetables in order to continue selling in her business.

Jacoba dreams of seeing her business grow and obtaining greater earnings.
